DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPUTERISED TOURISM INFORMATION SYSTEM (CASE STUDY OF OWERRI IN IMO STATE)

ABSTRACT

The computer system has become a handy tool that can be conveniently applied to all fields of human endeavor. It has even become essential for solution of problem ion moist spheres of life. The main objective of this study is to develop a system that will document and record the names and activities of the of tourism destination in owerri. This system computerizes tourism into a database that is stored permanently and updated through stored procedures. What motivated me to design this system was the cumbersomeness of the manual method used in the tourism. It could enhance feedback at the tourism board and reduces the time needed to prepare the tourism destinations. The database was designed using MICROSOFT SQL SERVER and access to the server was designed using ASP.NET programming language.
